The Pakistan Petroleum Dealers Association (PPDA) has accused the Karachi Metropolitan Corporation (KMC) of illegally sealing petrol pumps. The association claims that the KMC's Enforcement and Implementation Department issued a seven-day notice to the petrol pumps, but sealed several stations only one day later, denying dealers the time to comply with safety requirements.
PPDA Chairman Malik Khuda Bakhsh made the allegation at a press conference, calling for the mayor's office to intervene and de-seal the stations, providing dealers with a fair chance to address the deficiencies identified in the notice. The PPDA believes that the KMC's actions are causing significant financial losses to petroleum dealers, harming their business reputation, and adversely affecting their customers.
